Welcome to the forums.

You haven't posted any pictures yet (that I've seen) and I'm already jealous... you have a D200!

Enjoy your stay here. You'll learn lots :)

Gee ...I dunno Tony. Are we able to class a Caboolturite as a Sunshine Coaster? I reckon Suzanne's more one of us! Not that it's a competition or anything.

Welcome aboard Suzanne! Visit often, soak up the atmosphere and post a lot of images from that most desireable piece of kit you have!

See you at a meet.

:D

A big Thank you for all the welcomes, now to fix the coast or brissie situation,, I dont know what you all class me as, but if it comes to outtings I can drive to coast but no way will i drive to brisbane, that travel scares the hell out of me,,,

Anyway down to serious stuff, I gotta go read somewhere how to post some of my pics,, I dont have to have a website do I,??? be gentle on me, I am a frail older lady ,,


Thanks

Thanks for the compliment Suzanne. Most of those were from in the arena with the kit 18-70mm and taken crouched down low beside the wings. I like the dramatic aspect that produces. The more conventional type shots were using a Tamron 70-300 from beside the course.

Welcome Suzanne. I am pretty new here myself and although I know one or two from other locations (which I won't hold against them).

There is a kite festival next month with plans for a get together you will see on another thread. BTW If you need a lens or two to go with that D200 there are a couple of blokes not too far from you with quite a decent selection :wink:
